First of all it will be difficult to transfer the animation to another
scene. Secondly, if you wanna extend the animation with 50 frames or so,
you will then scale the animation since you need to scale the clips.

You will get a good visual with the f-curves from the custom ppg. It is
also easier to maintain.
